How to Join

Getting Started With Slack Tips

You’ll access the chat either at wpseattle.slack.com or via a Slack mobile app or desktop program (recommended).

Each Slack team you belong to uses a different account. If you already belong to a Slack team, you’ll still need a new account for this team.

Users are automatically added to many “channels” (think chatrooms) including the general purpose #watercooler, #helpdesk for troubleshooting, #gigs for jobs, and #wordcamp and #meetups for events. Explore additional channels depending on your interests like #dev, #business, and #showcase.

You can also Direct Message members of the community! This is useful for following up after a meetup or thanking someone for their help.
